I've recently hit the one-month mark since my PTK C3R surgery on my left eye. Before the surgery, I mostly wore contact lenses instead of glasses. Now I'm wondering, is there a specific type or brand of contact lenses I should be using post-C3R surgery?

I've noticed over the past few days that the corners of my wife's eyes are really itchy, and it's affecting the area under her eyes too. She's sometimes getting teary-eyed without any reason. Could you give me some advice on what might help, or should we consider seeing a doctor?

Wife may be experiencing symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. I recommend using over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops such as Zaditor (Ketotifen) twice a day to help relieve the itching and watering. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the eyes can also provide relief. Make sure to avoid rubbing the eyes as it can worsen the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been struggling with crossed eyes and I'm really worried about it. Are there any specific exercises or treatments that can help align my eyes properly? I'm looking for suggestions on what I can do at home.

Crossed eyes, or strabismus, can sometimes be corrected with eye exercises, but it's important to first consult with an eye specialist. Exercises like focusing on a near object and alternating focus between near and far objects may help, but treatment varies based on the cause. A doctor might also recommend corrective lenses or surgery in some cases.

My mom has been coughing quite a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried since she's supposed to have cataract surgery on the 18th of January. Is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery with this cough, or should she delay it? Would love to get your advice on this.
